Twenty-nine boats are entered in the Club match races for the SFourth of Ji|Jy championship.
Eleven boate are entered in the dis¬ placement racing boat race, and there will be two boats in the hydroplane race.
The arrangement for the Club match races is an ihRovation whereby the best time over the Club course of each boat entered is used as the basis for classi¬ fying and handicapping. The match races are arrangedTietween from four to six boats whose speeds are approx¬ imately the same. The first match race will start at 1:80 p. m. when five boats will leave at the crack of the gun. . This will be followed at 1:40 with another match race of six boats and 80 on at intervals of ten minutes until the six matches have been start¬ ed. The winners of each match will participate in tbe championship race for th-! Fourth of July championship. The distance for both the match races and championship will be ohce around the Club coarse of five nkutiea] miles.
These races, as well aa the high speed races, are expected to be filled with excitement for the capteins of the boats, and very inteneating to the onlookers.
WORLD OR STATE RECORDS.
Quite frequently we hear of records, especially among the firemen's aaaoci¬ ations in the southern part of New York State, that are State or World'a records. Here, for instance, we claim a Stete record in the steamer contest, yet I have had one fireman, quote fig¬ ures to prove to it>e it waa not. al¬ though ne did Aot convince me, quite.
At Valley Stream, Wednesday, In¬ wood is said to have broken the world'a record for the hora^ hose contest, when they went the distance in 1 minute and 2-6 seconds. How do they know? I have never heard of the contest any¬ where else except around the aoatbern part of tbe Stete, and tbe DesRaismea Hoae Co., the holders of the record, went 800 yarda, where Inwood only went 250. Then too, I am later told that the record of DesRaismes of 1:01 was made at College Point in 1909, with a stending atert, with tbe horsea all hitehed.
The only way there can ever be any Stete records will be to get together representatives of the different fire¬ manic organizations of the Stete and draft rules, as do athletic associations, and we would undoubtedly find ready response if we sterted such a move¬ ment. Then and then oniy can we claim Stete or even bigger records.
A member of the department met me Sunday night and gave me a very polite call down fpr steting in the Flre Department column last week that Hose 3 was two-fifths of a second be¬ hind the Nassaa County Association record in the tournament at Valley Stream. As I told him I would, I looked this up. and find that he waa right, that the record was 1K)6:4, which is the same time No. S made. Needless to say, I am more than glad to make the correction.

While the automobile apparatus of the Ocean Side department at the Val¬ ley Stream tournament was not tbe first in Nassau County by any meana, thej^iving of an exhibition by thU piece of apparatua brougbt -very clear¬ ly to the minds of thoaa who aaw it that even in suburban territory the day of horse drawn fire apparatus is fast coming to a close and that very few years witl elapse before a horse- drawn vehicle for fighting fires is aa scarce as are automobiles in this sec¬ tion today.
Up to the time of Fire Commission¬ er Johnson, in New York City, auto¬ mobiles were considered an experi¬ ment, and smaller places were waiting to see what the result would be in New York City. Among the first piecea motorized in that city was a water tower, and Chief Croker was quoted aa saying after ite first response that it was the first time in the histery of the department that the Water tower had not been last in answering an alarm.
The first company in Freeport to se¬ cure an apparatus of this kind can quickly demonstrate its value, and al¬ though there is no good reason why a company should be expected to furnish its own apparatus, it will bave to come in this way undoubtedly. Rockville Centre has secured a 60 h. p. Daraeq car. and ia having a hose body built thereon. The time is near at hand when a village having horse drawn ap^ paratus will be classed with one having; horse cars for conveyance.

Twenty-nine boats are entered in the Club match races for the SFourth of Ji|Jy championship.
Eleven boate are entered in the dis¬ placement racing boat race, and there will be two boats in the hydroplane race.
The arrangement for the Club match races is an ihRovation whereby the best time over the Club course of each boat entered is used as the basis for classi¬ fying and handicapping. The match races are arrangedTietween from four to six boats whose speeds are approx¬ imately the same. The first match race will start at 1:80 p. m. when five boats will leave at the crack of the gun. . This will be followed at 1:40 with another match race of six boats and 80 on at intervals of ten minutes until the six matches have been start¬ ed. The winners of each match will participate in tbe championship race for th-! Fourth of July championship. The distance for both the match races and championship will be ohce around the Club coarse of five nkutiea] miles.
These races, as well aa the high speed races, are expected to be filled with excitement for the capteins of the boats, and very inteneating to the onlookers.
WORLD OR STATE RECORDS.
Quite frequently we hear of records, especially among the firemen's aaaoci¬ ations in the southern part of New York State, that are State or World'a records. Here, for instance, we claim a Stete record in the steamer contest, yet I have had one fireman, quote fig¬ ures to prove to it>e it waa not. al¬ though ne did Aot convince me, quite.
At Valley Stream, Wednesday, In¬ wood is said to have broken the world'a record for the hora^ hose contest, when they went the distance in 1 minute and 2-6 seconds. How do they know? I have never heard of the contest any¬ where else except around the aoatbern part of tbe Stete, and tbe DesRaismea Hoae Co., the holders of the record, went 800 yarda, where Inwood only went 250. Then too, I am later told that the record of DesRaismes of 1:01 was made at College Point in 1909, with a stending atert, with tbe horsea all hitehed.
The only way there can ever be any Stete records will be to get together representatives of the different fire¬ manic organizations of the Stete and draft rules, as do athletic associations, and we would undoubtedly find ready response if we sterted such a move¬ ment. Then and then oniy can we claim Stete or even bigger records.
A member of the department met me Sunday night and gave me a very polite call down fpr steting in the Flre Department column last week that Hose 3 was two-fifths of a second be¬ hind the Nassaa County Association record in the tournament at Valley Stream. As I told him I would, I looked this up. and find that he waa right, that the record was 1K)6:4, which is the same time No. S made. Needless to say, I am more than glad to make the correction.

While the automobile apparatus of the Ocean Side department at the Val¬ ley Stream tournament was not tbe first in Nassau County by any meana, thej^iving of an exhibition by thU piece of apparatua brougbt -very clear¬ ly to the minds of thoaa who aaw it that even in suburban territory the day of horse drawn fire apparatus is fast coming to a close and that very few years witl elapse before a horse- drawn vehicle for fighting fires is aa scarce as are automobiles in this sec¬ tion today.
Up to the time of Fire Commission¬ er Johnson, in New York City, auto¬ mobiles were considered an experi¬ ment, and smaller places were waiting to see what the result would be in New York City. Among the first piecea motorized in that city was a water tower, and Chief Croker was quoted aa saying after ite first response that it was the first time in the histery of the department that the Water tower had not been last in answering an alarm.
The first company in Freeport to se¬ cure an apparatus of this kind can quickly demonstrate its value, and al¬ though there is no good reason why a company should be expected to furnish its own apparatus, it will bave to come in this way undoubtedly. Rockville Centre has secured a 60 h. p. Daraeq car. and ia having a hose body built thereon. The time is near at hand when a village having horse drawn ap^ paratus will be classed with one having; horse cars for conveyance.
